Anyone looking at particular products for enhanced underbody protection? I’m thinking beefed up skid plates - oil pan, trans and transfer case, fuel tank, etc.
What are your opinions of the factory protection?
@Yeti - I know you’ve got some opinions on rock sliders (I think). What else?
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends) I’m often exploring as a sole vehicle with my family and while I don’t go bouncing off boulders and smashing into things, I like the extra margin of safety and confidence that enhanced protection brings.
I have a set of RCI skids and sliders on the 4Runner and they’ve been awesome. I opted for aluminum skids (save weight, corrosion proof, maintain as much payload capacity as possible) and the $ premium has been worth it.
Curious what is out there to protect the soft underbelly bits of our trucks.
